Fashion Stylists and Editors are mostly
misunderstood. Many people see the
job as glamorous. When in fact the
Stylist is like a pack mule with much

to carry. They are usually the first to
arrive on the set and the last to leave-
checking that they have not forgotten
anything. What is unique is the stylist's
point of view. If there is anything to

envy this would be it. "The Stylist is
always trying to make the picture better."

What is "The Stylist" ???

There are hair stylists, prop stylists, food
stylists, all kinds of Stylists. The Stylist's
Stylist is the fashion Stylist. The top of

the mountain. You must be the best there
is and have what is known as a "Trained
Eye." It is "an Art" which compliments Life
itself. Look at it like this. The client being-
a magazine, ad agency, manufacturer, or
an art director. They have an idea with a
vision. Now they want their specific vision
to come to life so they get a photographer
who will capture the vision and they get

a cast. Let us say 2 models (1 male and

1 female.) Now what you have is: an idea,

a photographer and 2 Nude models ...
nothing more. That's it. That's all there is.
The Shooter and the bodies. Here comes
the Stylist.

The Stylist brings the picture to Life. With
all of the other elements. And everyone
works together. But the Stylist brings

the needed things in. Most of the time,
everything- including props. Clothes,
shoes, jewelry, watches, handbags, cars,
everything- with exception of what a set
person might have to build. Their job is

to get it - and return it. In perfect condition.

The good Stylist will go to
market and then advise the
client as to what is happening
and what is up to date. The
Great Stylists will meet with
the client and learn what they
the client are all about, their
likes and exact needs and
then live to make that happen.
Even if the client is a huge
corporation or a magazine
page or an individual who has
the need to have the best in
Style. The Great Stylist makes
it religion - rule of thumb:
Make everyone happy.

Have you ever played the Grand Piano

"I see you on a Silver screen" made it
happen. When one forgets where they
have been, one forgets who they are.
